4th Edition, a Scout Staff, and Trilateration
Greetings Wndsn Aficionados
Fresh from the mind of WNDSN, the 4th edition of the Official Time & Space Manual advances the body of information regarding our growing suite of telemetry tools. Now available, the 4th edition provides a more complete understanding of how to independently calculate crucial measurements that we often ignore, take for granted, or assume are impossible outside of highly involved, highly technical contexts.
Ancient navigational methods are ever relevant and this newest edition of the manual expands the modern user’s understanding of astronomical systems, providing concise and tangible instruction. The 4th edition reiterates the constituent concepts of calculating distance with revised fundamental graphics; all existing material is included and updated, including the Time & Space addendum that previously introduced setup, history, as well as the functions and tutorials regarding understanding the ancient foundations behind the measurement of time and date.
The 4th edition includes,
- 140 pages more than the 3rd edition and 30 new topics
- 129 graphics, increase of 57 from the 3rd edition
- 22 tables, increase of 5 from the 3rd edition
- 40 equations, increase of 16 from the 3rd edition
- 77 entries in the bibliography, increase of 39 from the 3rd edition
An abridged version of the 4th edition is available as a free download with every Telemeter. At 212 pages, it is pared down to just setup instructions and tutorials. For those who bought Telemeters in the past, you should have recently received an email with the link to the PDF file.
Efficient learning and accessible information is the overarching goal for the 4th edition. The examples and tutorials utilize only the most salient formulas and only require the Quadrant for measurements and computations (plus pen and paper for note-taking). The expanded reference section is a standalone resource for emergency or austere situations. Whether novice, seasoned practitioner, or educator looking to demonstrate mathematical concepts in tangible ways, you will find solutions within the pages of the 4th edition.
Available in our store, or on Amazon, or in any other bookstore with the ISBN 979-8691884504.
